A third pond, the Storm Event Pond (now referred to as Pond 3), was added in 2008 south of the two existing Phase 1 ponds. With the addition of the Storm Event Pond 3, the existing Intermediate/Event Pond 2 became a dedicated Intermediate Solution Pond. While not included in previous design documents, Alamos designed and installed the Storm Event Pond 3 to both add surge capacity during the wet season and extended periods of rain, and to provide additional process make-up water to reduce the volume of make-up water pumped up from the Mulatos River.
